Editing Radical behaviorism (section)

==Private events ==
Radical behaviorism differs from other forms of behaviorism in that it treats everything done as behavior, including private events (such as thinking and feeling) Unlike [[John B. Watson]]'s behaviorism, private events are not dismissed as "epiphenomena," but are seen as subject to the same principles of learning and modification as have been discovered to exist for overt behavior. Although private events are not publicly observable behaviors, radical behaviorism accepts that one is each an observer of their own private behavior. Skinner explicitly noted that private events were essential for behaviorists to understand and account for, though he also considered them beyond the limits of direct analysis. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://psycnet.apa.org/record/1946-00034-001|title=The operational analysis of psychological terms.|last=Skinner|first=B.F.|website=APA|language=en-US|access-date=2020-08-11}}</ref>
